Dave Fotzing, student of Fernand Lopez, wins pro debut in 46 seconds

Dave Fotzing, a 23-year-old heavyweight trained by Fernand Lopez, made his professional MMA debut with a first-round knockout victory over Luis Carlos de Brito in just 46 seconds. Fotzing first gained wider attention a year ago when footage of his sparring sessions with Ciryl Gane was released online. The post also notes that Marcel Sychev, another fighter Lopez previously touted for a big future, has not fought in 18 months since his last RCC appearance, though he signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company in September. Rubinstein's roster includes high-profile fighters like Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev.
